It is refreshing to see a Test match last 5 days compared to the farce going on Down Under , I'll give it that .

Seems like a poor choice of venue for every single game of this tour, in that case.

This test was originally scheduled elsewhere and to start today but they moved it to Karachi due to smog/fog concerns

****ing hell this partnership has just gone past the 84 run stand for the 10th wicket, that Tim Southee and Chris Martin put on in 2008 against England in Napier on the all time list , now that must have been really frustrating having Chris Martin out on the field for that long !?

Unfortunately what that innings from Southee did was only give us false hope. Who on earth as a lower order batsman scores their highest test score
in their 1st test innings when you play for over a decade? One of the most mythical innings ever played in test cricket.

Yeah kinda reminds me of Dwayne Smith's test debut for the West Indies...
The bloke made one international hundred in his career across all formats , and it came at Newlands on test debut in the fourth innings . Mental

Ah true, forgot about that. But still, the other test and all of the white-ball games were all given to Karachi.

Literally mid-winter.
Historically trst series played more in the 'shoulder' seasons.

I may be talking out of my arse. I assumed that coastal Karachi the only viable option.

100 partnership up, and new highest test scores for both of 'em.

 

[Starfighter]

I think one thing this is proving is that there's still a lot of runs in the pitch.

 

[Athlai]

They always fall for our number 11 is at 9 trick.

Aw, the fun is over.

 

[straw man]

Tragedy

 

[Athlai]

If Henry was a better bowler Ajaz wouldn't have got out

 

[Flem274*]

Boooo

That's a dirty af 4fer for Abrar lol take it

 

[Athlai]

First 100 run 10th wicket partnership since 2014. Root/Andersom

 

[Athlai]

Commentators talking about how they know Henry was **** but maybe he's alright now.

One of the strangest bits of ‘cricket logic’ that I’ve somehow heard repeatedly is ‘Matt Henry has earned a long run in the test team because of his consistently poor performances’

I think in Simon Doull’s words it’s more about his “sparodic” poor performances.

 

[Athlai]

I really like these Pakistani openers.
